So this was a critical point in no young individual's career, not only in their career, but in a family's belief in the Marine Corps and how there was going to be care for in the Marine Corps. And I always went back to the staff and say, listen, make sure that you're keeping the young Marine informed so he or she can keep their parents informed. So putting that information pipeline into place to keep the families involved and keep their stress down at it. Look at that. Look at that down to Fort Lee to be the company commander and director, directed food service school, best of both worlds while I was do had it man I got the best of both worlds because now I got to run the school that helped build my career. But for me, I got to talk to Marines every day of the week.

It was about people around me, Learn how to play pool how I can make things better. Right. When we when we get so focused on doing something else that it's easy to forget to tell people what's going on here. They’ve made the trade-offs that are right for them, and I’ve done the same. So like I told them, I was I made a shift in my life. And every commander that they came behind me has told me, Man, we're glad you did that, because we see it makes a difference. That's that's thanks for doing that, because that's that's an important element that sometimes can easily be lost in the pursuit of mission. I know that's the I'm not the only thing and it is somewhat trivial at the point, but it is a key element that adds to other things. So the biggest thing I put in place was that communication pipeline from this student back to their parents and is still in place now. And, after probably 500 unsuccessful attempts, he could now do an actual dive from the edge.

I had command time and having the command of upwards of 500 Marines ebb and flow, man, that's some responsibility. Yeah, I really had to up my my mid to my time when my mental provider during that time frame, it was key for me. Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, I bet. Yeah. You know, there's there's a place, too, where as kids, children of parents, where we owe it to them to give them some level of safety, security. It sounds like early on when you were getting told, you know, you're you're an advisor if you want to if you want to give orders and make policy, you've got to go officer to that conversation to where that was your push seemingly. The last, last number I had so approximately, give or take, thousands more like 47,000 organizations focused on military in the US, 47,000. I mean, it's it's a lot, but it's at the end of the day, what it also is, it can become overwhelming as to where do I find a thing that works for me and how do I how do I get connected to that organization or effort, as large or small as it may be, we all have different needs.

But the parent engagement is one thing that I instill. You know, like the main thing that you remember that was the most impactful at that point for you and how you were able to drive change? So Fort Lee was a two and a half hour drive away from where we were living at. While the game is often played with two players, it can also be played solo. In 8-ball, if a player shoots the wrong group and no foul is called, and it is later noticed that someone is shooting at the wrong group, the game will be replayed with the same breaker. Once a ball is hit into the pit, it must remain there for the rest of the game, unless a tie is called, where the rules listed above come into play. Your objective is to aim the cue ball into the colored ball you want to hit. You’ll learn the fastest, easiest, and most accurate way to AIM and you'll learn how to BREAK, BANK, JUMP, and MASSE. A virus outbreak is not an ideal way for businesses and employees to be thrown into the remote work experiment.
